Dong Zhuo entered the Central Plains of Beijing to fight

Mondo History Updated on 2024-01-19

Dong Zhuo, who has experienced a hundred battles and fought for many years, is a general who has a brilliant military career as a local official. In the Xiliang operation in which Sun Jian and Zhang Wen rebelled, Dong Zhuo behaved arrogantly and rudely. Although Sun Jian had suggested that Dong Zhuo's military law be disposed of, Zhang Wen gave him a glimmer of life out of appreciation for his bravery. However, Dong Zhuo's schemes aroused the alarm of the imperial court, which planned to transfer him to Luoyang and weaken his military power. Although Dong Zhuo refused this arrangement for various reasons, he did not change the premonition of the imperial court's uneasiness about him.

After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he tried to recruit talents and connect the Kwantung clan. He rewarded hundreds of officials in the court, promoted the powerful of the world, and appointed many state ministers and eunuchs, and named many generals. However, these clans had a contemptuous attitude towards Dong Zhuo, the military general of Xiliang, and fled one after another, united in their armies, and vowed to overthrow Dong Zhuo. With the combined efforts of the Kwantung coalition forces, Luoyang was occupied, and Sun Jian unexpectedly obtained the heirloom jade seal of the Han Dynasty, which aroused Yuan Shao's covetousness and led to contradictions within the coalition army.

Although Yuan Shao was the leader of the coalition army, he was not high in administrative rank, but he was only the Taishou of Bohai under the rule of Jizhou. Faced with Jizhou, which has limited resources, he set his sights on the position of his boss Han Fu. In order to obtain Jizhou, he contacted Sun Zhan, the Taishou Gonggong of Beiping, and jointly plotted against Jizhou. Gongsun Zhan was interested in attacking cities and plundering land, and led his troops south in the name of crusading against Dong Zhuo. However, Yuan Shao's dissatisfaction with Gongsun Chan after the capture of Jizhou led to a fierce conflict between the two, which opened the prelude to the fierce competition for territory in the Kwantung region.

In this melee, Yuan Shu, Tao Qian, and Gongsun Zhan united one side, and Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao united one side. This alliance, which was based purely on interests, was unpredictable in the midst of war, and the relationship between friend and foe changed frequently. Yuan Shu first captured Jizhou, then eliminated Lü Bu and Yuan Shao, and stabilized the counties of Henan. In the end, Cao Cao had the last laugh and became the winner of the north. So far, the pattern of the three kingdoms has been initially established.

In this long period of history, the open and secret struggles of various forces, and the emergence of heroes and heroes, show a magnificent, twists and turns of the historical picture. This is an epic that records the hardcore history of the Three Kingdoms, in which the fierce battles of heroes and the interweaving of power and intrigue are endlessly evocative.
